UNI safety Anthony Isley is a rising special-teams weapon with upside in the secondary
In the 2025 season, Anthony Isley appeared in 10 games for UNI, recorded four tackles, and blocked a punt against Southern Illinois, flashing the kind of instinct and effort coaches love in a depth-piece safety. He’s a 6-foot, 192-pound senior from Mediapolis, Iowa, with a versatile background that includes ball skills and toughness from his high school days as an all-conference running back and state champion. The biggest draw: he’s active, physical, and clearly trusted in pressure moments, which makes him a sneaky-good fit if a team wants reliability, special-teams value, and developmental upside.
